Chapter 207: Hebei Meat Grinder
"It seems that Gongsun Chan has lost!" After listening to Bai Ma Yicong's account of what happened, Gan Ning sighed with emotion.
"I didn't expect the top cavalry regiment to fall on top of the chariot that was eliminated by the cavalry, what an irony!"
"Bai Ma Yi has never been defeated by chariots alone, but it's a pity that he met such an arrogant lord as Gongsun Zhan." Huang Gai Road.
The chariot corps that killed the White Horse Yicong was besieged in the middle by the Youzhou Iron Cavalry Regiment at this time, killing at will. Zhang He's halberd warriors also hurriedly retreated after the fall of Baimayi.
The shortcomings of chariots and hoplites are all too obvious, especially in the face of cavalry, which are completely defenseless targets.
"It's hard to imagine that Yuan Benchu has such courage! For the sake of this mere 3,000 white horses, there must be an army of nearly 100,000 dead! Gan Ning was amazed.
"After all, he is a member of the Yuan family like the lord! If you don't have this kind of courage, how can you be qualified to be the elder brother of the lord! The old Yuan family of the fourth and third dukes, this loss can still be beared. But I'm afraid Gongsun Chan won't be able to bear it! Huang Gai said.
"It's alright! Although there is almost no one in ten of Bai Ma Yicong, we have left a spark and will not be completely extinguished. With these 300 people as the foundation, it will take two or three years for Baima Yicong to be rebuilt. ”
"I'm afraid Yuan Benchu won't give him this chance. Although we should support Gongsun Zhan, why do I have an unbearable fear when I see Bai Ma Yi! Huang Gai looked at the white horse who was embarrassed on the other boat, but still couldn't hide his elite temperament.
"I really don't know why this perverted class of troops can exist in this world! The archers were already very perverted, but now there is a strengthened version of it! What is strengthened is the speed, except for Yuan Shao's bloody method, I really can't imagine how to eliminate this group of white horse righteous servants. Gan Ning sighed.
The elite legions, such as the Trap Camp and the First Dead Soldiers, are no less effective than the White Horse Followers, but they are much inferior to the mobility and scoundrels. It is still possible to destroy these two legions under siege, but Bai Ma Yi is like this, and under the talent bonus of the legion, you can't catch up.
"It's no wonder that the alien races killed by Gongsun Chan across the frontier did not dare to attack, and the best maneuvering speed of the alien race was suppressed by Bai Ma Yicong. The name of General White Horse is indeed worthy of its name! Huang Gai said.
While the two were chatting, the battle between Gongsun Zhan and Yuan Shao was nearing the end.
The brave Gongsun Zan defeated Yuan Shao's army in a fit of rage, but Yuan Shao, who had been pressed down, was also completely furious.
didn't care about his own safety at all, and rushed forward with the pro-military camp and the banner of the commander.
As a result, when the soldiers under his command saw that their lords were desperately taking the lead, their morale skyrocketed, and they rushed forward one by one.
Especially the Euphorbia, who originally planned to retreat, they were firmly at the forefront under the leadership of Zhang He.
"For the sake of the lord, resist with me!" Zhang He roared frantically.
Yuan Shaodu is desperate, what qualifications does he have not to work hard? The lord humiliated his ministers to death, Yuan Shao treated him well, and the Euphorbia, an extremely money-burning and limited type of soldier, was tossed out under Yuan Shao's trust.
In times of crisis, it was time for him to step up. Even if the Euphorbia is weak, it is still a top legion, how can this group of cavalry be flattened!
Don't look at the previous Euphorbia Warrior's performance so poorly, it was because he was facing a white horse righteous servant, and against this group of ordinary Youzhou Iron Riders, the Euphorbia Warrior behaved with ease one by one.
Forming a square array, blocking the shield in front of him, and being held against by his comrades with a giant shield behind him, the entire Euphorbia was like a rock standing in the waves, blocking Yuan Shao.
"Kill!"
After Yan Liang came back from chasing Bai Ma Yi without success, when he saw Yuan Shao being besieged by Gongsun Zhan's army, his eyes were red at that time, and he roared and rushed to the battlefield.
The whole battlefield was like a meat grinder, although Gongsun Chan had a slight upper hand, but the horror of Yuan Shaojun's stubborn will to resist was that Gongsun Chan was terrified.
The two sides fought fiercely for a long time, and finally Gongsun Zhan saw that Yuan Shao's Chinese army could not be defeated for a long time, and finally had to withdraw his troops.
"Yuan Shao really won!" Looking at the tens of thousands of Yuan soldiers and soldiers who suffered heavy casualties after the battle, but revealed a solemn atmosphere, Gan Ning sighed with emotion.
"After eliminating Baima Yicong and retaining a large number of veterans, Yuan Shao really made a lot of money! Since then, the offensive and defensive relationship between Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao seems to be reversed! Huang Gai sighed.
"Gongfu, Yuan Shao's army is tired now, do you think we should go up and make up for another knife?" Gan Ning said with some impatience.
He came this time to join in the fun, and when he saw Yuan Shao's tragic appearance now, he couldn't help but feel a little itchy.
"Xingba, don't be impulsive! All we led were naval troops, and there were only 10,000 soldiers. Don't forget that the private soldiers of the family under Yuan Shao are still stationed in the camp! If we start a war rashly, we may not be able to achieve victory! Huang Gai hurriedly said.
Although Yuan's soldiers were exhausted, Gongsun Zhan's retreat made Yuan Shao's soldiers morale at this time. I'm afraid that rushing up now is not to pick up leaks, but to lose both with Yuan Shao.
If you can't get the whole army in, you have to get in, and it's definitely not worth it to do such indifferent casualties for Gongsun Zhan.
Huang Gai stared at Gan Ning deadly, for fear that this thing would really give an order with a hot brain.
You must know that the 10,000 sailors here are directly subordinate to Gan Ning's troops, and most of the generals are old men who followed Gan Ning when he was still a Jinfan thief. It can be said that in addition to Yuan Shu, Gan Ning is the boss here.
"Gongfu, don't worry, I'm not so stupid. My army is a dragon on the water, and a four-legged snake on the road. It's a pity, I knew that I had brought all the 30,000 sailors in the first place, and now I can only watch it. Gan Ning said.
"Alright, let's hurry up and keep up with Gongsun Zhan! What if this thing goes crazy and cuts us down as enemies? Huang Gai looked at the retreating Gongsun Zhan army in the distance.
Gan Ning shook the big knife in his hand: "Let's go, fight the local tyrants!" I have long heard that there are many war horses in Youzhou, and if I don't knock on 20,000 horses today, I'm really sorry for my hard work for a few days. ”
In front of the boundary bridge, there was a dead silence in Gongsun Zhan's camp.
"My lord, although Bai Ma Yi was wiped out by the whole army, no matter what, we only had a draw with Yuan Shao this time, and we did not show any signs of defeat. For follow-up matters, the lord still needs to plan early! ”
Gongsun Zhan's face was heavy, and the funeral of Bai Ma Yicong was too big for him! He couldn't bear it.
Gongsun Chan could now think of what those miscellaneous hues under his command were secretly muttering.
Baimayi is not only Gongsun Zhan's trump card army, but also a faith, the faith of the entire northern grassland.
Hu people fled when they heard the long history of the white horse!
The White Horse Yi that has been crisscrossing the north for decades can be seen from the deterrent power of the Hu people. As long as the white horse is righteous, the combat power of the hostile Hu people can be reduced by two percent in an instant. It's like the morale of all the troops facing Lu Bu will drop a little.
And now that Bai Ma Yi is gone, Gongsun Zhan will not only face Yuan Shao next. Xianbei and Wuhuan in the north were originally dissatisfied with Gongsun Zhan, and if it weren't for Baima Yi from the town after Liu Yu left, these people would have rebelled long ago.
Gongsun Zhan's next consideration is not whether he can defeat Yuan Shao and take Jizhou, but how to hold Youzhou.
